In honor of Better Hearing and Speech Month, Cochlear is collaborating with Cochlear™ Nucleus® 6 System recipient Nina Poersch from the hit CBS show ‘Survivor’ to educate the public about what it means to live with hearing loss and the importance of never giving up on your dreams.

“In this day and age, we are fortunate enough to have a variety of hearing loss treatments at our disposal, so there is no reason why anyone should have to struggle to hear,” said Nina Poersch, ‘Survivor’ Season 30 contestant and cochlear implant recipient. “Take my story for instance. When I lost my hearing, I soon realized that hearing aids wouldn’t work for me, but was told that I most likely wouldn’t qualify for a cochlear implant. I insisted on being tested, and it turned out that I was a candidate for the technology. I have lived my life the same way ever since. I don’t let anything stand in the way of my dreams just because I may have difficulty hearing.”
